my first bike was s40, and it had melted patches from the previous owner ) – I mean his rain gear, not himself
Great bike, good confidence builder; I learned everything I needed on it and decided it was time to change once I’ve ridden it full open throttle in every gear. Good for everything except hwy speeds.
Some to pay attention to:
– crash bar on this bike is for display only. It won’t protect the bike or your legs if you go seriously down.
– inspect the belt regularly. Since your driveway is gravel, it will likely get into the belt. Not a big deal, but if it remains stuck between teeth of the sprocket, it might damage it. Unlike some more expensive bikes, the belt on this one is not fully protected.
